Hostal San RemoEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The itsy-bitsy Hostal San Remo offers just seven rooms in a really nice residential area of central Barcelona. Maria Rosa, who has owned and operated this adorable haven for 12 years, lives on site and takes good care of the place. Every room was renovated in 2006, and all are sparkling clean with homey touches.

All rooms are decorated in a streamlined modern style (compliments of Maria’s architect son), with simple furnishings and white walls. Overall, they are clean, cozy and private, and equipped with a television and air conditioning for those steamy summer nights. Five of the seven have balconies with street views.

Two of San Remo's rooms share bathrooms, while the rest have private facilities. Maria Rosa provides hand soap, but you’ll have to remember your other necessities.

The lobby is stocked with books and newspapers and a free Internet station in the lobby. Wi-Fi is free of charge and available in the lobby and in some rooms (ask ahead). Remember to book ahead of time as those seven rooms go fast! P.S. Maria Rosa prefers cash and charges an extra €1.50 if you use plastic.

The an Remo's tranquil location on Ausiàs Marc is just a few blocks from Pl. Catalunya. There’s a Metro stop close, and a café directly beside its entrance for your morning croissant. (Maria Rosa provides free a.m. coffee and tea.)
